CRITIQUE - DOG CLASSES

17 03 26 WSSCSW ChampShow 339I would like to congratulate this breed club, committee and stewards for making me so welcome. The club goes to great lengths to ensure judges, and exhibitors are happy. The welcome of Welsh cakes in the morning are a delight. To the exhibitors I would like to say thank you for preparing your dogs in such a fantastic way, however, overzealous handling by some didn’t go unrecognised and needs to be thought about and addressed as per the KC rules on handling exhibits. The photographs at the end of the day are a must to have as this is history being made after each and every show. I like nothing better than looking back over old photos of who won what and when - and the albums out on display created by Mansel Young gave each and everybody a chance to view a snap shot of the history of the breed.

Judge: Mrs Pat Butler-Holey (Shandwick)


MINOR PUPPY DOG (1,0)

1st - Harvey’s Benjamin Jankina Zahrada To Mariemead (Imp SVK), stood alone in this class, pleasing head and expression, good bone and substance. A little proud of his tail today moved with good driving action.

PUPPY DOG (2,0)

Each of the 4 exhibits in this class was quite different in shape and balance

1st - Davis’s Julita Rutland, in my opinion he looks every bit a Welsh Springer Spaniel, balanced in body displaying good height to length ratio. His head is so pleasing in expression and balance. Good kind eye, not overdone in foreface. Long muscular neck, pleasing shoulder, good body and ribs, strong loin and good quarters. Moved well. I shall watch his progress with interest.

2nd - Harvey Benjamin Jankina Zahrada to Mariemead (Imp SVK)

3rd - Jenkins Cwmbeili Morgan

JUNIOR DOG (5,0)

1st - Worth’s, Sarabande Man in the Mirror (Ai) hand on heart I can honestly say I haven’t been a good supporter of him during his puppy career, but today at 16 months old he his starting to look the part. Balanced in body proportions, good head and eye showing all the attributes of a Welsh Springer. Long strong neck, well angulated shoulders, good ribs and strong quarters. Moved well both fore and aft.

2nd - Riley’s Ferndel Peanut Butter at Ravensworth preferred the winner in head today, but still a really well presented dog, good strong quarters, a little proud of his tail on the move. His overall balance was good in terms of height to length ratio but today lacked a little weight which would have improved his overall shape when viewed in profile.

3rd - Knowles Menstonia Masterstroke.

YEARLING DOG (6,0)

1st - Harrison’s Glenbrows Picture me Now JW, this dog certainly surprised me on the day. Classic head and expression, good strong neck, well angulated shoulders, deep brisket, well sprung ribs, strong loin and strong wide quarters. He is balanced in overall body proportions but upto size. Moved well with true driving action.

2nd - Worth’s, Sarabande Man in the Mirror (Ai)

3rd - Riley’s Ferndel Peanut Butter at Ravensworth

MAIDEN DOG (1,0)

1st - Knowles Menstonia Masterstroke doing everything today to make his handler work hard. Not giving his best. His head is so typical of what has become expected from this kennel. Soft kind eye, head of good shape well chiselled given that true Welsh expression. Good front action on the move.

NOVICE DOG (3,0)

1st - Davis’s Julita Rutland

2nd - Knowles' Menstonia Masterstroke

3rd - Wood & Montoya-Wood's Glenbrows Paper Mayhem

GRADUATE DOG (10,0)

1st - Brown’s Bowdonia Ozzie A lot to like about this youngster, for me his overall outline won this class. From his pleasing well balanced head to the tip of his tail he looked every bit a Welsh Springer. His head is good in proportion with good foreface, his eye could be darker in colour, but it doesn’t distract from his expression. He moved so well displaying plenty of push and drive so true of what is required from the breed.

2nd - Worth’s, Sarabande Man in the Mirror (Ai)

3rd - Ellis' Shannara Total Eclipse

POST GRADUATE DOG (8,0)

1st - MCDowell's Bowdonia only the brave for Cerysan displayed all the attributes that is required in overall conformation and balance, symmetrical and compact. Good head and strong neck, good bone and substance presented in terrific form and body. Would prefer tighter front movement but overall a very pleasing winner of this class.

2nd - Blackford's Ambelight Galatea, sometimes a dog just says that’s it I’ve done enough of this behaving lark and now I need to play!!! How he made his handler work hard for his 2nd place today. When he did stand still and move in harmony with his handler he certainly has got what it takes. Good head and kind expression, strong neck and good shoulders. I preferred his front to that of the winner today. Moved well.

3rd - Buckwell's Killene Dancing in the Dark.

LIMIT DOG (11,0)

1st - Graham Taimere’s Twister round Nyliram JW ShCM as a youngster he never really appealed to me from the ringside, but it’s a different story when you get hands on. His head is so well balanced, good strong muzzle, kind eye and expression. His depth of chest, strong body, good ribs and strong loin is a pleasure to see which is sadly lacking in many. Strong neck, good return of upper arm angulation and a pronounced sternum. His quarters are strong wide and powerful, so well muscled. All of this is used to his advantage when he moves. I was delighted to award him the DCC and with the agreement of my co Judge Catherine Dodds he was awarded BIS plus the wonderful Welsh crystal trophy which was awarded to him in memory of Len and Kath Morgan.

2nd - Boumonte and Dimond’s Islanza Going Dutch of Roxdale, Cannot say I have seen this dog before but again a lot to like about him, he pushed the winner hard on the move but quite a different outline to the winner. He his balanced in body, good head and eye, strong neck and good shoulders. I considered him for the RCC but preferred the clean lines of the eventual winner.

3 Murray’s Lyndfil Simba from Priestbeck

OPEN DOG (5,0)

1st - Tolladay’s Sh ch Ferndel Comander of Bethersden I have sung his praises before as I previously awarded him the RCC a few years ago. This dog is so well built in all departments from his wonderful head and expression to the whole quality of the dog. I particularly like his size and shape so well balanced in totally proportion all over. I like him and felt he truly deserved the RCC again. He is so happy on the move using his tail as he goes around the ring, it was a pleasure to see him.

2nd - Worth's Sarabande Perfect Storm (Ai) Sh cm A lot to like about this dog, he is presented in fantastic coat and condition. His head is balanced, good eye and expression, strong neck and shoulders good upper arm angulation, strong body and good over the loin, wide quarters which he puts t good use on the move. Unlucky to meet winner on such good form today. Must have a bright future.

3 Phillipson’s Menstonia Marksman

VETERAN DOG (4,0)

1st - Connolly’s Menstonia Mahler at Benmorby at 12 years old he certainly is still able to show off his true active movement. He is up to size put so well balanced in fantastic overall condition a wonderful grand old gentleman.

2nd - Tew’s Pamicks Dazzling Boy JW ShCM 4 years younger than winner but certainly he pushed the winner hard today. Not quite a positive in movement but still went well.

3rd - Murray’s Slapestones Mars at Priestbeck

SPECIAL BEGINNERS DOG (6,0)

1st - Brown’s Bowdonia Ozzie

2nd - Snell’s Menstonia Moonwalker, he had a great time entertaining himself in the ring. At just 12months old he is quite raw but still a lot to like about him. I do hope both handler and dog continue the enjoyment of showing in the future

3rd -  Yacoub Laithmoors Marek

SPECIAL NEW MEMBERS DOG (2,0)

1st - Jenkins Cwmbeilia Morgan, awarded 3rd in puppy today but obviously as the day had gone on he decided to enjoy being a puppy and gave his handler quite a hard time but still good enough to win the class well done.  Sympathetically handled by his young handler in this class.

2nd - Poppleton Haltonian King Lear 

DANNY PRITCHARD SPECIAL MEMORIAL STAKES DOG BRED BY EXHIBITOR (3,0)

1st - Blackford's Ambelight Galatea

2nd - Attwood's Kylowen Drym

3rd - Yacoub's Laithmoors Marek 

GOOD CITIZEN DOG SCHEME (4,0)

1st - Barkley's Sh Ch Cherryheath’s Mr Mischief JW ShCM a great favourite of mine such a great show man, he loves ever moment of being with his owner breeder, showing his socks off.  His head and expression is so pleasing.  Strong neck and good shoulders well sprung ribs and good quarters.  Moved well so true and active.  He pushed hard for the RCC today.  I just love him.

2nd - Brown’s Bowdonia Ozzie

3rd - Attwood's Kylowen Drym

17 03 26 WSSCSW ChampShow 638CRITIQUE - BITCH CLASSES

I would like to thank the committee for making me most welcome and also to my very helpful steward. I had an enjoyable day judging the bitches at this popular and friendly well run show. Having judged at the three other Breed Clubs I considered it a great honour to be chosen to judge at the South Wales Club and would like to thank all the exhibitors for giving me a wonderful entry. I was in complete agreement with my co-judge Pat Butler-Holey that BIS go to the dog who was more mature and looked great in the challenge. We were in full agreement that RBIS, BOS, BPIS and BV went to my bitches.
